That was an incredible deal!

I've downloaded over 5 GB of stunning samples and instruments and field recordings.

I've had some of your samples before - the MF Eternity, the Absynth patches, and now these Kontakt libraries and sounds.

The recording quality is impeccable and the samples that are processed are done with creativity and skill.

I've spent the whole day trying the various instruments and I have yet to find time to audition the sound packs.

The 'Beautiful Beds' pad is worth the price of admission all by itself - what a lovely sound!

And that poor smashed piano will be reincarnated in a lot of my mangles.

Thank you Simon, and thanks to the wonderful Japanese crowd who clinched the big finale! It was almost like watching an auction, a very unusual, exciting, dynamic Group Buy.

And they said it so well: "Thank you King of Deutschland Artists!"

 

Thank you so much Jim, your post makes my early morning
I just closed the Group Buy with 171 participants on the list. This was an amazing experience and the flood of positive energy coming towards me from Japan and all over the world has inspired me incredibly.
Thank's to all who supported this!
Simon

There is a new Kontakt 4 patch available on patchpool:

Lamp Mallets
Kontakt 4 - 36,8 MB unzipped - 48Khz/24Bit/stereo - 1 nki - Price: 4,50 €
12 Samples (wav) - 1 Impulse Responses (wav)
Screenshot

Content:
Multisampled lampshade hanging in the bathroom of my appartment. 3 velocity layers, 4 alternations (Round Robin). Sampled with 3 Neumann mics (L-C-R). Originally sampled for my Sound Bank Alchemistry Beyond now also available for Kontakt 4.

There are 2 scripts involved which offer lots of possibilities to change and process the sound.

Control Panel:
In the upper row of the Interface you'll find a Phaser with on/off switch and 4 control knobs. Next to it there is the Reverb section with on/off switch and 2 knobs for size and amount. In the lower row there is an ADSR Envlope with 4 control knobs and a EQ section with controls for High/Low Gain. In the center of th UI there is a switch for the 3 Interpolation modes, setting that to "High" or "Perfect" will reduce alisaing when transposing the samples, especially downwards. Those two modes will increase the CPU load.

Delay Sequencer:
A customized factory script let's you enable a sequencer to create rhythmical patterns with a 16 step sequencer for Volume and Pan Position. The fade knob controls the amount of sequencing applied. Please view the screenshot for more details.
The Modulation Wheel controls the amount of pitch modulation, you can alter the modulation speed with Aftertouch.

Note: All customers of Alchemistry Beyond can get this patch at a discount of 60%

I just uploaded a new Kontakt patch:

Liquid
Kontakt 4 - 92,3 MB unzipped - 48Khz/24Bit/stereo - 1 nki - Price: 6 €
6 samples compressed using Kontakt 4's ncw format
Screenshot

This patch uses 3 soundscapes (Filter Drops/Liquid Pad/Watersax) made with an array of softsynths, FX Plugs and some processed samples of my soprano sax playing. All 3 scapes have a reverbed counterpart, you can crossfade between the pairs with the Modwheel or the Dry/Wet-slider provided in the script. Switch between the sounds with keyswitches, the script lets you determine where the switches are located on the keyboard and in what range the sounds will play. You can reverse the sounds with the provided Reverse switch.
You can also determine the interpolation quality to reduce aliasing when playing extreme transpositions, if the HQI switch is set to "perfect" CPU usage is quite high.

More Controls:
*Envelope section with Attack and Release knobs
*Highpass Filter section with Cutoff, filter modulation (random LFO) and modulation speed
*EQ section with Frequency and Gain for Low and High Bands

Evoluted Space Pad
Kontakt 4 - 144,8 MB unzipped - 48Khz/24Bit/stereo - 1 nki - Price: 6.50 €
15 samples compressed using Kontakt 4's ncw format

This patch combines two multisampled beautiful pad sounds I produced for my Sound Bank Alchemistry Beyond

Controls:
Each layer has it's designated control knobs for Attack, Release and Volume control. Each sound is also modulated with a LFO-driven Bandreject Filter, there are control knobs for modulation amount and modulation speed, turning up the LFO speed fully will create interesting ringmodulation-like effects

FX section
There is a Chorus and a Delay active in the FX section, bypass switches are available for both of them. The Chorus has 3 control knobs for Speed, Depth and Send amount. The Delay also has 3 control knobs for Time, Feedback and Send amount.

I just uploaded a new Kontakt item (2 Instruments) to patchpool:

Convoluted Scape
Kontakt 4 - 133,4 MB unzipped - 48Khz/24Bit/stereo - 2 nkis/Instruments - 6 samples compressed using Kontakt 4's ncw format - Price: 6 €

Screenshot

6 long samples I created by convoluting electronic textures with vocal and violin samples, using the electronic sounds as sources and the acoustic sounds as Impulse Responses, multisampled from C#1 - E5.

Instument Convoluted Scape
Controls:
There is a Filter Section with Cutoff, Emphasis (Resonance), LFO-modulation amount and modulation speed for the Lowpass Filter

The Envelope section lets you control Attack and Release time

The Convolution Reverb section lets you choose between two Impulse Responses and gives you control over Size a well as Dry and Wet amount. There is also a bypass switch for the Convolution engine

The Modwheel controls the sample start point, turned fully up it moves the sample start by 85%.

Tip: While playing move the Modwheel before hitting the next key to determine a different start point for each note you play. Smoothen the Attack time to taste.

Screenshot

Instrument Convoluted Scape TM
This patch variation uses the samples in Kontakt's Tone Machine mode which can sound like a vocoder. In addition to the controls already mentioned, there is a Tone Machine section with a knob for sample speed and the amount/direction of LFO-controlled Formant modulation.

And another new Kontakt 4 patch was released today:

Female Portato Vox RR6
Kontakt 4 - 17,1 MB unzipped - 48Khz/24Bit/stereo - 1 nki/Instrument - Price 5 €
72 samples (wav) - 3 Impulse Responses (wav)

Screenshot

This patch uses female vocal samples portato style which I recorded and produced with a professional vocalist for my Sound Bank Alchemistry Beyond. For this Instrument I cut up those samples into 72 single accents, 6 alternations per note (Round Robin), multisampled from D#2 - C#4, the lowest and highest samples have been extended to give you a playable range from C2-C5.

Controls
*There is a full envelope section with 4 control knobs for ADSR
*The Lowpassfilter has 2 knobs for Cutoff and Emphasis/Resonance
*The Velocity section lets you assign the velocity to the sample start point, the harder you play the further the sample start point will move to the right.
You can also assign velocity to the Filter Cutoff, in this case turn the Filter Cutoff down so that the velocity assignment becomes active/audible. There is another control for the amount of velocity applied to the amplitude.
*The Modwheel adds vibrato

FX section
In the lower part of the GUI you'll find an Equalizer with a bypass switch with 2 controls for Low and High Band, and a Convolution Reverb with a bypass switch with 3 controls for Dry - Wet amount and Size, You can choose between 3 Impulse Responses by clicking into the area above the size knob.

Time Machine Mode
There is a switch for Time Machine mode with a control knob for speed control, enabling that will also activate a slider for the Sample Start Point, I suggest to assign a Midi Controller to that slider by right clicking onto it. Stretch the samples to their extremes for otherworldy textures or freeze them with Speed set to 0% and then scroll through the sample with the sample start slider.

I just released a new Kontakt Library on patchpool:

Chainland

Kontakt 4 - 274,7 MB unzipped - 48Khz/24Bit/stereo - 8 nkis/Instruments
51 Samples compressed using Kontakt 4's ncw format - 1 Impulse Responses (wav)
Price: 12.95 €

For this Library I multisampled 2 metal chains in different sizes with 3 Neumann Microphones in L-C-R stereo. I tried all sorts of different articulations like rustling, shaking in different densities, dropping them on the floor, picking them up from the floor, hitting other objects with them and so forth. A lot of the samples were also processed with an array of Plug-Ins to create otherworldly textures. Comb Filters were also applied to transform the chain samples into sounds with a more distinct pitch. There are 8 nkis/Instrument available in this Library, each one has a different script supplying you with plenty of controls for tweaking and layering the sounds. Each Instrument uses a long Impulse Response I made with VRoom in the Convolution engine. This can be very CPU intense depending on your computer specs, if it is just switch off the Reverb and use an external one.

And here come my first Kontakt 5 item:

Spacious Land comprising 7 long cinematic Soundscapes from my single-wav collection.

More details and demos on the product page

 

There were some requests about it so I took the time this morning to make a Kontakt 4 version of Spacious Land, replacing the Notch with a Bandreject Filter and skipping the Group with the K5 Formant 2 Filter so there are only 3 keyswitchable Groups. Also the Control Panel has the first knob unassigned as tweaking the Bandreject Resonance makes no sense, the FIlter FX just becomes inaudible.
